We visited in October for my birthday and enjoyed the experience so much that we visited again to stay in Wisteria with our dog in November. Our whole stay was nothing short of exceptional. Andy, Annette and Adam made sure that we wanted for nothing. There were so many thoughtful touches in the room. The food is just incredible. A little piece of heaven in Sidmouth!

My husband and I stayed here for the evening and it was fabulous. Lovely, comfortable, clean and well equipped rooms - ours was a suite with a separate living room and jacuzzi bath. Fantastic dinner with brilliant service and delicious vegetarian food. Great local wines. The quiet night and a tasty breakfast was just what we needed to get us back on the road. We shall definitely return here whenever we are in the area.

My wife took me here for my birthday last weekend and we weren’t at all disappointed. We had the four course menu for dinner which we both really enjoyed. The waiter was relaxed and attentive. I would have welcomed some light background music, but given overall attention to detail that’s okay. The room was very nice and breakfast was on point.
